Trees to inspire

“Breathe, Smile, Live” is not only a movie about meditation and love, but also about responsibility and conservation of the planet – at the heart of PURProjet’s activities. Together we can help to gather enough funding to complete its development.

What can a monk, a scientist and a financier have in common? Director Yen Le Van discovered it for us. The documentary film aims to keep away from clichés and latest trends in favor of a deep study about meditation and mindfulness, leading us to meet many experts, from the famous Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to the renowned American scientist Jon Kabat-Zinn. Through moving portraits and touching interviews, she talks about the beauty of the world, life, nature and people.

Being an independent production, the team has launched a crowdfunding campaign on KissKissBankBank in order to complete the production without making concessions on its freedom of tone and format.

PUR Projet supports this initiative by offering to plant trees in the Nordesta project in Brazil, as a counterparty for campaign’s contribution. These trees will be planted within the Nordesta project in Brazil, along the sources of the São Francisco river. Planting native species will help to strengthen biodiversity and to preserve water resources upon which local communities depend.

Links between meditation and nature are proven to be strong and both help us to “Breathe, Smile, Live”. That is why PUR Projet supports the project !
